The dress uniform Archduke Francis Ferdinand's was wearing on 28 June 1914 laid out above the chaiselounge on which he died that fateful day.

The Browning pistol projectile tore through his jugular vein & ripped open his windpipe . Sophie was shot thru the abdomen & died almost immediately.

the cuts the surgeon's had to make in his uniform to gain access to the Archduke's wounds are quite visible.
